Cannot change standard icons in Home template

[herbhedgerow]

Hi 7th Queen,

I’ve spent days trying to figure this out but am no closer to solving it so having reviewed your forum and found no sign of a similar thread I thought I’d ask you instead. 🙂

I am basing my homepage on your e-Learning Homepage template and am trying to modify the three main icons (I’ve attached a screenshot of the three icons I mean) but there seems to be no way of doing it in the Frontend or Backend editor. The only way I could modify it was by going into the code and replacing the icon name with the one I want, but the moment I then update the site it returns back to the standard ones that come with the template.

I also tried to add a clients row but again, as with the icons, I could find no way of modifying them and uploading my own. Am I missing something glaringly obvious? I have tried modifying the template in Google Chrome and Safari to see if maybe my browser was suppressing parts of the theme but they are both the same.

Finally, I’ve added in some graphics using the Features Item Grid but every time I hover over them, a grey circle appears to the left of the image. I’ve attached a screenshot, along with a screenshot of the settings for that Feature Item.

Thanks in advance.

You need to change the icon in the individual item, not the grid that holds all the items. So, instead of clicking on the pencil at the top of the grid, hover you mouse over the actual “Featured Item” and click on the pencil that pops up. That will bring up “Featured Item settings” instead of Featured Grid settings. Below the text editor is an icon drop down. Select whatever icon you want.

The clients shortcode grabs whatever clients and their associated logos from the clients section in the admin. WP Admin – Clients. (If I’m not understanding this correctly, please let me know.)

For the third issue, are you merely trying to work around the clients issue by using a featured grid? That circle that pops up is the outline of the icon, when I’m guessing you have set to none (“blank”). See explanation 1 for what I’m talking about.

Again, let me know if this gets you closer and what else you need.

I love it when it really is that glaringly obvious as saying “scroll down the page”! Thank you so much. You made my evening.

LOL. It took me awhile to get used to VC and where all the different settings are.
